Pollo Monterey Recipe

This is an easy grilled Pollo Monterey Recipe. If you are looking for a healthy meal that doesn’t give the boring old Chicken Breast a bad wrap, you want to give this one a go.

This has to be my favorite chicken breast recipe. When I met my hubs he introduced me to grilled Monterey chicken at one of his favorite hole in the wall restaurants. Lucky for him I am pretty descent in the kitchen especially when it comes to winging it. If you like to grill outside on a pit this is a fun one. I even opt to making this easy grilled Pollo Monterey chicken recipe with my cast iron skillet. Both are just as simple.

Chicken breasts – butterfly

Salt to taste

Pepper to taste

1/4 stick of butter (only if you are pan frying)

Instructions

Season chicken breast with salt & pepper. If you like a kick to your food use what ever spices you choose. These have to be kid friendly in our house so I opt for salt and pepper only.

The last 2 minutes of the cooked side add a layer of tomatoes, a layer of avocado slices and mozzarella generously. Let the cheese melt and your done.
